dr russia needs international recognized aid convention but inside russia it's a different story children's rights. country doesn't have a single juvenile court such. who is their stuff and welcome to the show thank you very much for coming in first of all about this new agreement that the russians and the u.s. are planning to sign what will be the new. rules of adoption will there be new rules there are a few changes and a few rules in this because this is the first agreement with the united states of america which will be signed i hope on these days and first of all we decrease the number of agencies official agencies which help candidates for future adoptive parents to take our russian children to their american families and we

stop at all so-called independent option because the most problems which we hear when we see area of interests. independent adoptions independent adoption is when this study acts not through an agency but like like played by a tour what i do now to morocco you can go through an agency you can compare you can go through an agency or you could just individually come there find out tell so this is individual adoption when people just buy a visa come to moscow and find a child somewhere and try to sometimes or to find in any person who can be an intermediate or in these birds for example in their independent lawyer so this will be abolished for good only through age as well as well i've read that from now on adoption of russian children by families in the united states will be.

only i quote by u.s. based agencies that meet the hague adoption convention requirements yes but what are. they principles they were there before and america was one of the countries who signed where the obligatory before that one of you can take attention to it it's necessary to be to be. recognized as official agency in the united states of america based on principle of adoption convention and. official it in syria must be recognized in russia is official agency for adoption process of what are we do not recognize the how convention on adoption of children but anyway the situation with. this restriction or. necessary step to be to

be united as an official agency based on hark adoption principle conventual you are you talking about the officially recognized agency that it was because it's very it's very comfortable for the american partners to do to establish all this work based on hard adoption principle from which ok you recently protest because i'm sorry because we are parts in different convention we got a nice. income of children's rights but the united states of america doesn't do it . at the same time as the united states of america recognize how conventional we do not part of his convention i see so you recently protested against an adoption of eight russian children it was carried out through a us adoption organization doesn't this case the. that an official organization.

performative option and from your point of view it was it had to be turned out to be illegal. what paved the way corruption russian corruption isn't good at the root of the power of all the problems with adoption you're right when when when you are talking about some corruptions roots because each kid is which we know were in the which we. researched for example the case of art of severely the case of denise for her recall as a case of sisters. in each reese case we find out the found out some mistakes errors or illegal documents so it means that the candidates for future adoptive parents. presented some. i can see not. real papers not real documents

and in this situation we didn't have any chance to check it because there are no instrument nobody to check so this this agreement will give you. an idea we say agreement to build up to establish the body the central body of peace agreement which will consist of american specialists and russian specialists minister for education and from department of justice of the not is this of america is russia planning to to sign similar similar agreements with countries in europe yes of course unfortunately during the last eight years eighteen years which we. have had this process of international adoptions we don't have enough enough agreements and we. only one agreement was italian republic fortunately and

our goal is to establish or decide all these contacts agreement or treaters with all contras from where adoptive parents come to russia to pick up to take and to adopt our russian children across the border adoptions gone wrong have shown the failure of international law to look after children right spotlights me there were reports. a russian boy flown back to moscow but he's adoptive family in america the story made headlines a year ago extern public indignation and made lawmakers of the two countries work on the solution seven year old or term so they leave the way no alone with a note from these adoptive mother she claimed the boy was mentally unstable and she could no longer care for him after what happened to our two on the russian foreign

ministry immediately called for a suspension of all adoptions by u.s. citizens russia in the u. west eventually started drafting a bilateral agreement concerning the now after seven rounds of negotiation the document is about to be signed a set of rules governing cross border adoption is believed to guarantee the safety of russian children adopted by parents from the u.s. but america is just one out of dozens of countries where russian infants find a home currently one hundred thirty thousand kids are in a waiting list for potentially being adopted by foreigners many russians believe the country should try and solve the problem of abandoned children domestically as for the international law there is another area which is believed to be on the regulated cross border disputes between divorced parents like in the case of elizabeth who was abducted and taken across international borders. by her own

parents three times a russian poorly gave custody to the girl's mother while the french authorities took the father's side cases like this it usually takes the efforts of diplomats and lawyers on both sides to reach an amicable deal between the two parties. you mentioned this agreement with italy that you have in europe two years ago oh european country some other countries that you're working with today we started to walk on this matter on this issue starting from whiskeys which we look to. just so you know and now or agreement with the french republic is almost routine and i hope it will be signed probably next spring. where we can agree meant there was israel because israel. has a bricked is too big for dogs and many russian children listen pal you speak

as norwegian. and love you work with and. with a great deal of agency with a great deal of cases in many countries but the most cases the most tragic cases that we hear about in the news the news comes from america how would you explain this regularity. a version adopted children children in the united states. i was to do notices of america just free weeks ago and we know this was not the first time. it was a special we visited center internet and the national center for missing and exporting children and not me american specialists told me the level of violence and cruelty in the american family is too high too high so you can see is a situation saudi towards. children towards all children want to toward all

children even their own children yes absolutely so so you want you're saying now that american families generally cruel to. say so but as americans what is really says that all cruelty is more and more and more every year among among native americans or among immigrants or first wave immigrants or i can share and share and. i think in the. kinds of families where we can find it and i can compare this to asian is united states of american in russia because russia has a problem of cruelty and violence in our families against native children not only against or adopted children used to. you said in one of your interviews that since the adoption started

while well like a wide practice more than fifteen years ago seven billion probably and it's been years ago seventeen russian children have died in the united states as a result of child abuse but some sixty thousand children born in russia have been adopted by families in the sixty thousand children maybe more seventeen of them died can we talk about that and an exceptional level of violence seventeen out of sixty thousand. you see a lot of large numbers doesn't work in this issue and i can say is that. not sixty thousand probably much more about maybe more than a hundred thousand because we do not have any information about so kind independence adoption we don't have any form of. children who were

placed from russia through the night as they said they looked across the border adoption like yeah exactly even now we have two cases both children who were ascends. and ceilings united states of america this is a win tonight is this we're going to get free is the goal for example is the case over. which now is leaving there's a family in the state of iowa and the problem is that these parents who are not parents exactly because they don't have any judicial status. to work to raise a child they don't want to adopt him. do not want to let him go home to russia this is a zero situation says part of the presidential commission therefore children's rights spotlight will be back shortly will continue to interview after a break they'll go.

markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on are. going to be soon which brighten if you remove the sun from feinstein question its. stock totty dot com. welcome back to spotlight i'm al gore in auburn my guest on the show is spite of

the start of the presidential commission for children's rights part of you just mentioned and the exceptional case in the state of iowa in the united states when when a guy from russia a kid went on a vacation to stay with american family years ago yeah they don't want to adopt him and they don't want to send them back to russia and what about his own parents what are they doing where are they are they in russia does he add living parents no no no no he's in all his or from the girlfriend so he will send them vacation by an orphanage or what orphanage you know with no support or for non-governmental organizations and now we hear a second case when aids children were replaced from the russian federation for vacation to that the states of america and to appropriate for the years for the free days a goal is a head to be back but didn't. so why don't why does that happen this is a kind of effect. adoption i can say but this is not

a legal adult show they actually nuking the kids i mean i mean but the kid has no rights if he's there is a legally what do american courts say about that all american official said told us that were is not violence or is not cruel to the world to these children so or we don't have any authority to do something if me if you go to the united states and stay there for three years instead of three months they'll kick you out because you're violating the laws so why is the kids staying for three years and it well you can say things like i cannot explain the situation because we have some papers from some response from american officials from the state of our your some of the city where his child lives now. this is he didn't see any any violations of law anywhere else. and as we told the. seventeen died or killed children in american adoptive families i can see.

with the words of former members of the german burly. american officer in the russian federation he told me that even while on is too much even ones do much ok the russian you mentioned that in russia the level of violence to be frank in families is as high as the united states is there true. even towards their own children we can compare because we don't know the exact truth about the situation but there's a level of violence of cruelty against children adults or children native to you is too high above countries how how how how serious is this problem with russia and who accept your office is dealing with the problems of violence against children in . russian family from my point of view this is the main problem of russian families

in russian society because the level of cruelty and violence against children in russian families is too high too high and you can see that all problems of small children is going from these be here or their parents. need to. abusing violence cruelty towards children. and we're working on the situation we're working with prosecutors we're working with the investigative police authorities with the social workers because my my idea is to start to walk when the family just is staying on the border of this social instability and we have to start to work with this family starting early. but to prevent future cruelty of violence

and the last time you came to this studio we talked with in the studio we talked about special juvenile courts and you said that pretty soon special juvenile justice will start working the courts will open when will that you when will you say is a problem is that in the russian society and first of all in russian mentality the juvenile system would do no justice is now something like. like a ghost like a ghost and. many of our russian people. do not know exactly what is this afraid of this carry out. so-called juvenile justice i thought i've heard you know here we can see that many russians are against you in all cases is that because russians don't like judges i don't believe it maybe maybe not don't don't don't like judges its own limited frayed or scary about judges and

all the judge system but we have decided that we made the political decision to stop these. the future a lot of juvenile system and we have we hear some juvenile courts in the russian federation similar regions here's a so-called pioneer sprawl ject. and juvenile courts and started to walk a broadly ten years ago is the russian federation we can't we can research experience we can present this experience to the public discussion for example and we're. the bull for the situation when some people in russia. for these doing or seize them or some against so in this situation we first of all need to calm down on the part of another another problem we discussed in spotlight

was the necessity of our children. in schools because according to to statistics and is detested story. but this is a terrific lie in two thousand and nine. thirty nine hundred children have committed suicide in two thousand and ten thirty seven hundred children have committed suicide because of humiliation at school is something done about it are ombudsman coming to schools probably were promised the problem is that official figures but we know that the number of poor children more money is her and the situation we're looking for some decision not very expensive decisions but necessary decisions in the one i was there with is to establish a so-called mediation. or mediation group or mediation mediator who can be between. the school for it is

apparent and children and where we are looking for the decision to establish psychologist in every in every school oh maybe to establish the institute of a school or school commission of which eunice writes europe few different issues but all of them. can visit system for prevention of so high numbers of suicide. more young children but who will children trust i mean you need a lot of people young people that will be trusted by kids well well well you can have britney spears working at it as such a person mediating but. you need people of this level of trust from. this is a main idea to give a person. who can be. who who children can trust to

and then they will talk to i mean exactly and i'm sure that in every city in every region we can find such person who can do it and the problem is that nobody wants to search his people his person who can be mediator or some. unofficial affords here for these children ever since but there are hundreds of schools so we need hundreds of people like what one was a major source of prevention for children. to a form of trust. a special time for special tell one year and we're going to be there all number which is now our work in a region in the recent years telephone psychologist it was where you have worse yes i can say that i have checked in many regions in more than sixty regions and region is working and. every week the good there is

a good two free calls from children who has ideas about maybe fuchsias thank you thank you very much and just to remind that they're my guest in this video today was part of the presidential commission that puts. children's rights and that's it for now from all of us if you want to have your sales twelve large draft someone of the mind where you think i should invite spirit to the studio just drop me a larger caliber in your past the t.v. dr are you and let's keep spotlights interact we'll be back with more profound comments on what's going on in and outside russia stay in artspeak and take a. trip. to.

a threat or as an actual weapon you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you can you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or build the new. that represents all the firepower of the second world war and this. the equivalence fire power of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
